During the revolution in Santo Domingo, it was the Jacobins who were governing France.
The revolution caused France to lose a huge income from sugarcane, leading to the collapse of the already dire financial situation of the Jacobin government and ultimately its downfall.
A gleam of delight flashed in the eyes of the Duke of Leeds as he ventured, "To empower the black slaves of Santo Domingo to contend with the French people would likely require a significant amount of funding."
"Do not worry about that," Lord Grenville immediately said, "I have already applied for 200,000 British Pounds from Congress to change the situation there.
"Moreover, you can use some of the money saved from the North American Indians."
"Excellent... cough, with that, I'm even more confident."
Grenville cautioned again, "Once you are in Santo Domingo, you can make contact with a man named Vincent Orea. Our Intelligence Department has already established a connection with him.
